Date Announced: 10 Jan 2011 Danville, Ill. – Brite Lite Media Group of Marion, Ohio installed its first digital billboard, a 12’ x 24’, 19mm board manufactured by Watchfire Digital Outdoor. The board is located on the corner of S. Prospect and W. Church streets in Marion, a town of 38,000 residents about 50 miles north of Columbus.The billboard was installed by Marion businessman Mike Zucker as a way to help promote Marion businesses. Zucker teamed with the Marion Chamber of Commerce to offer members favorable pricing during Marion’s annual Popcorn Festival, and has put up “Welcome” messages for new businesses moving into the area. “My goal is to make the billboard affordable for local businesses, and to keep rates comparable to static billboards,” Zucker said. “This is a boost to Marion’s small downtown business community.”Zucker selected a Watchfire billboard after a friend in the outdoor industry recommended the company. “I looked at Watchfire, as well as its competitors, and decided on Watchfire after I toured their facility,” said Zucker. “The plant was very professional and clean, and the staff stayed on top of all the details.”“We are very happy to welcome Brite Lite Media Group to our roster of customers,” said Darrin Friskney, director of Watchfire Digital Outdoor. “Mike Zucker is exactly the type of customer Watchfire excels with: knowledgeable and connected to his community.”With its True-16mm, True-19mm and new E-16mm, Watchfire has an entire line of digital billboard products to suit almost any need.
